The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from industry sources regarding the availability of a picosecond pulsed laser for its Gaithersburg site, which is needed to synchronize with quantum network clocks and generate entangled photons. Delivery, installation, and training are anticipated to occur within 12 weeks after receipt of order. No budget amount is specified. The laser will be used at NIST’s Gaithersburg location. Responses are due by July 16, 2026, and must include company details, size status under NAICS 334516, and optional pricing estimates.
